Letter from the CEO

July 2023

Dear Friends of HomeAid,

I am delighted to present to you our Annual Report, a testament to the incredible impact we have achieved together as we strive to make a difference in the lives of those experiencing and at risk of homelessness across the nation. As we reflect on the past year, we are humbled and inspired by the unwavering support from our donors, partners, volunteers, and dedicated staff and the hard work and perseverance of our 19 affiliates, their executive directors, staff and their local boards and volunteers.

At HomeAid, our mission has always been clear: to build new lives for families and individuals experiencing homelessness through housing and community outreach. We firmly believe that a stable home is the foundation for a brighter future, and with your help, we have continued to turn this belief into reality for countless individuals and families.

Over the course of the year, we have witnessed both challenges and triumphs, and I am immensely proud of how our organization has responded with resilience and compassion. Despite the obstacles brought on by supply chain and product shortages, labor challenges and a pending recession with rising interest rates, we remained steadfast in our commitment to serving those in need, with innovative solutions and collaborative partnerships.

Our Impact

Throughout the last year, we have been able to expand our reach and enhance our services, providing a safe haven for those facing homelessness. Here are some of the key accomplishments we achieved together:

1. New Housing and Programmatic Facilities: In 2022, HomeAid’s affiliates successfully completed 72 new housing and programmatic facilities across the nation, providing 13,434 additional individuals and families with stable, safe, and supportive environments and 93 projects are currently in development that will add 2,351 beds for our local service providers.

2. Community Outreach Programs: HomeAid’s affiliates’ community outreach initiatives collectively have touched the lives of countless individuals and families, connecting them with essential resources such as diapers and other essential baby items, food, clothing and job training though our WORKS program.

3. Education/Advocacy Efforts: Through our education and advocacy campaigns such as Homelessness Awareness Month, we have raised awareness about homelessness and inspired positive change at the local, state, and national levels.

4. Collaborative Partnerships: We have strengthened existing partnerships and fostered new collaborations with like-minded organizations, multiplying our collective impact in combating homelessness.

5. Volunteer Engagement: Nearly 1,000 volunteers dedicated over 2,300 hours of their time and skills to support our mission, embodying the true spirit of community and compassion.

Financial Highlights

None of this would have been possible without the generous contributions from our donors. Here are some key financial highlights for HomeAid America from 2022:

1. Total Funds Raised: $1,403,252

2. Program & Community Outreach Expenses: 81% of funds directly contributed to our programs and services.

3. Management & General Expenses: 12% of funds allocated to administrative costs, ensuring efficient operations.

4. Fundraising Efforts: 7% of funds invested in expanding our fundraising capabilities for sustained impact.

Looking Ahead

As we embark on the journey ahead of us, we are filled with hope and determination to do even more for those who rely on our support. Our commitment to serving the homeless community remains unwavering, and we have ambitious plans. In the coming months, we will focus on:

1. Scaling Impact: Expanding our efforts to reach more communities in need, while ensuring the quality and effectiveness of our programs.

2. Innovative Solutions: Embracing new technologies and creative strategies to address the evolving challenges of homelessness.

3. Strengthening Partnerships: Forging stronger alliances with corporations, foundations, and government entities to amplify our collective efforts.

4. Advocacy and Awareness: Advocating for policy changes and raising awareness about homelessness to garner greater support and understanding.

As you turn the pages of this Annual Report, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you. Your support and commitment to our mission have been the driving force behind our accomplishments. Together, we are building a more compassionate and inclusive world, one development at a time.

We invite you to explore this report and learn about the inspiring stories of transformation that you have made possible. Your belief in our cause gives us the strength to continue our mission with passion and dedication.

Thank you for being an essential part of HomeAid America's journey. We look forward to your continued partnership and support as we create a brighter future for all.

Statement of Need

The current edition of the National Alliance to End Homelessness State of Homelessness: 2023 Edition analyzes available data on homelessness for 2022 and over time.

According to the January 2022 PIT Count, 582,462 people were experiencing homelessness across America. This amounts to roughly 18 out of every 10,000 people¹. The vast majority (72 percent) were individual adults, but a notable share (28 percent) were people living in families with children.

Key facts and data points include:

• Homelessness has been on the rise since 2017, experiencing an overall increase of 6 percent.

• In 2022, counts of individuals (421,392 people) and chronically homeless individuals (127,768) reached record highs in the history of data collection.

• Unsheltered rates are also trending upward, impacting most racial, ethnic, and gender subgroups.

• Homeless services systems continued to expand the availability of both temporary and permanent beds in 2022, but these resources still fall short of reaching everyone in need.

• Homelessness rose by a modest 0.3 percent from 2020 to 2022, a period marked by both pandemic-related economic disruptions and robust investments of federal resources into human services.

• The State of Homelessness: 2023 Edition uses data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide an overview of the scope of homelessness in the U.S. on a given night in 2022, and illustrate emerging trends. Data in this report is pulled from HUD’s 2022 Point-in-Time (PIT) Count data, as well as Housing Inventory Count (HIC) data.

Programs & Activities

experience of high achieving nonprofits.

HomeAid has a proven track record of transforming lives and has...

• Through local and national builders, trades, suppliers, financial institutions, and community partners, transformed over 1,183 properties across the entire Continuum of Care into safe and stable housing for those experiencing or at risk of homelessness, effectively ending homelessness for over 701,000 people.

• Invested more than $340 million in housing and facilities that improve communities across the country

• Secured over $141 million in savings on renovation and building projects – money that went back into life-changing programs

• Added or preserved 13,445 beds

• Partnered with thousands of builders, trade partners, and suppliers to provide necessary construction services to hundreds of non-profit service providers

HomeAid’s core programs include:

1. Construction: we are one of the nation’s largest facilitators of the building of safe and dignified housing and programmatic facilities for those experiencing or at risk of homelessness;

2. Community Engagement: our Essentials program organizes community-wide drives to collect and distribute diapers, formula, hygiene items to families in need. HomeAid Care Days are hands-on volunteer workdays in which minor repairs and upgrades are made at nonprofit service provider locations. Tasks like painting, landscaping, cleaning and small construction projects are done at no charge based on each organization’s needs. Since 2001, HomeAid has completed nearly 100 HomeAid Care Days (and counting), resulting savings of more than $300,000 to service providers;

3. Education: we bring awareness and information about homelessness to the building industry and to the community; and

4. Work Force Development: our WORKS program provides opportunities for individuals to learn skills in the building industry that can provide a livable wage.

The families and individuals who benefit from HomeAid programs have usually experienced a life-changing event such as job loss, foreclosure, bankruptcy, domestic violence, illness, disability, death of a spouse, medical expenses for a child, crisis pregnancy, or a national disaster. Some are immigrant families seeking asylum, veterans returning from war, seniors on fixed incomes, and working poor families unable to find affordable housing at poverty level wages.

HomeAid serves individuals and families with various barriers to housing and employment, including:

• Veterans

• Survivors of domestic violence

• Survivors of sex trafficking

• People with disabilities

• Refugees

• Formerly incarcerated people

• Young women experiencing a crisis pregnancy

• Members of the lgbtq+ community

• Low-income seniors

• Youth living in, or emancipating from foster care

• Unaccompanied youth under 25

Supporting Families

Adults and children in families make up about 30 percent of the homeless population.

Policy, Involvement, Solutions

By Fiscal Year 2023, Congress should allocate at least $3.6 billion to Homeless Assistance Grants to address the problem of homelessness.

30 Days and 30 Ways

In November, HomeAid runs a month-long campaign to educate and raise awareness of homelessness in America. Each week focuses on different aspects of the epidemic — there are 30 Days and 30 Ways to get involved!

Expanding Horizons: HomeAid's Informative Blog

At HomeAid, we believe that education is a powerful tool in the fight against homelessness. As part of our unwavering commitment to raising awareness and inspiring change, we are delighted to introduce our new blog platform on the HomeAid website. This interactive and informative blog serves as a dynamic resource, offering valuable insights, thought-provoking discussions, and impactful stories centered around homelessness and the transformative work being undertaken to address this pressing issue.

The purpose of our blog is twofold. First and foremost, we aim to deepen public understanding about the complex challenges faced by individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Through well-researched articles, our blog sheds light on the root causes of homelessness, the various demographics affected, and the barriers they encounter in their journey towards stable housing. By increasing awareness, we hope to break down stigmas, foster empathy, and encourage collective action within communities nationwide.

Secondly, our blog showcases the tremendous impact of HomeAid's initiatives and collaborations with our affiliates and partners. We highlight success stories of individuals who have overcome homelessness, thanks to the support and dedication of HomeAid's network. By sharing these stories of hope and resilience, we seek to inspire readers and encourage them to engage with our mission in meaningful ways, whether through volunteering, advocacy, or supporting our housing projects financially.

Our blog

is a reflection of HomeAid's continued commitment to transparency and education.

By embracing this digital platform, we aim to reach a broader audience, sparking meaningful conversations, and fostering a more informed and compassionate community dedicated to ending homelessness. Through the power of words, we envision a future where every individual has a place to call home and the opportunity to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.

Annual Partners

In-kind Partners

Because of HomeAid's unique model and with our builder partners we have a total In-kind value of $141,303,452 for our projects. HomeAid averages a 41% savings on each project for our service providers. This enables them to better serve more of those who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

Partners in Action

Atlanta, Austin, Northern California, Colorado, Houston, Southern Nevada, Orange County, Orlando, Phoenix, Portland and Sacramento.

HomeAid America has been the recipient of Masco Corporation Foundation grants for the past 22 years, totaling over $1.1 million. These grants help HomeAid oversee its programs which: 1) build housing and other programmatic facilities for homelessness service providers, and 2) undertake community outreach activities to provide facility renovation or operational assistance for the programs of these service providers. This year, the Masco Corporation Foundation grant was augmented by another $50,000 gift from one of Masco’s business units, Delta Faucet Company. Masco has been represented on the HomeAid America Board of Directors by Suzanne Chreene, VP of Sales for Delta Faucet Company and now Elizabeth Kershner, Senior Director – Strategy, Insights/Research, Pricing & Analytics. HomeAid also continues to receive in-kind or deeply discounted product for its building projects from several of Masco’s brands in addition to Delta® faucets. These product donations from Masco and other building industry partners allow HomeAid to build housing for those experiencing homelessness at a fraction of the normal cost, on average for 60 cents on the dollar.

Masco also has made a donation to HomeAid America in honor of Richard Manoogian, who recently concluded his service on Masco’s Board of Directors after 56 years, including 27 years as Chairman of the Board. In celebration and gratitude for Richard’s long service and his immense impact in growing Masco Corporation into a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of branded home improvement and building products, the tribute in his name will be designated to HomeAid America’s WORKS Program, a workforce development program that provides technical construction training, education and job opportunities in the homebuilding industry for men, women, youth and veterans who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

HomeAid, in collaboration with Zonda, hosted the 2023 National Housing Market Outlook and raised funds for HomeAid's mission to help those experiencing or at-risk of homelessness build new lives through construction, community engagement, and education. Through the generosity of Zonda and Presenting Sponsor, Delta Faucet Company, along with 14 additional sponsors and the breakfast attendees, the event raised $123,000 for HomeAid to build a future without homelessness.

The keynote speaker was Zonda Chief Economist Ali Wolf, who discussed the projected outlook for the building industry and housing market for 2023. Tim Sullivan, Senior Managing Principal from Zonda, facilitated the conversation between the home building industry and supply chain panels, which included Mike Forsum, Chief Operating Officer at LandSea Holding Corporation; Tom Mitchell, President & COO at Tri Pointe Homes; Jeff Roos, Regional President at Lennar; Bridget James, Vice President of Purchasing at Lennar; Jason Weiner, Christian Brothers Interiors; Brian Smith, Director, Global Supply Chain Services at Masco Corporation; and Scott Larson, CEO at HomeAid.

"Zonda is so proud to be a part of HomeAid. Homelessness is a huge issue in America, and there is no group better to help solve it than the home-building industry. HomeAid is supported by the best and brightest leaders in our industry and continues to make a positive impact," said Jeff Meyers, CEO of Zonda and HomeAid America board member.

As long-time supporters of HomeAid America, Taylor Morrison continue to strengthen their commitment to serve the nation's most vulnerable and create safe and dignified housing options. Taylor Morrison’s Chairman and CEO Sheryl Palmer has served on HomeAid America's national board since 2017 while several of Taylor Morrison’s Division and Area Presidents serve on local affiliate boards. Taylor Morrison has contributed over $400,000 to date in support of HomeAid's mission with direct involvement and support of the following affiliate though leadership, financial support and leading construction and development efforts:

In addition, Zonda’s Frame events nationwide have raised over $170,000 since 2021 in support for HomeAid’s affiliates including: Atlanta, Austin, Colorado, Houston, Inland Empire, National Capital Region, Northern California, Orange County, Orlando, Phoenix, Puget Sound, Sacramento, Utah.

Lennar Homes and the Lennar Foundation has been an integral part of the HomeAid program across the country since 2000. More than 40 housing projects have been built through the guidance of Lennar and its building and trade associates with 17 of HomeAid’s affiliates nationwide. “Our vision is to have Lennar and other national homebuilder communities join together nationwide for this worthy cause,” said Jeff Roos, Vice President with the Lennar Foundation and Chairman of the HomeAid America Board of Directors. In addition to providing leadership and volunteers through HomeAid, Lennar and its related entities have contributed over $2.4 million to HomeAid’s mission since 2000 including a grant of $500,000 in 2019 to found and initiate the HomeAid WORKS program, a strategic investment through HomeAid Los Angeles in developing emergency shelter for veterans and most recently a catalytic investment of $125,000 for a multi-year grant in the reestablishment of HomeAid Puget Sound.

Since 2004, Bank of America has contributed more than $3 million to support HomeAid America and its 19 affiliates. The company has also has been continuously represented on HomeAid America’s Board of Directors with Bill Balfour, Senior Vice President currently serving, and the bank has staff members serving on multiple HomeAid affiliate boards nationwide.

Bank of America continued its support of HomeAid in 2022 through a $125,000 Bank of America contribution that was used to support of HomeAid’s affiliates in key program areas of construction, community engagement and education. In addition, this funding will help HomeAid expand its reach into new communities around the country, especially on the East Coast. Affiliates that received funding were Atlanta, Austin, Colorado, Inland Empire, Los Angeles, National Capital Region, Orange County, Orlando, Portland, Puget Sound, Sacramento, San Diego and Utah.

The NAHB International Builders' Show (IBS) in Las Vegas, NV and the Pacific Coast Builders Conference (PCBC) in Anaheim, CA is always an incredible place to meet and connect with people in the industry, and this year was another special year for various reasons. Both shows been a huge success and a fantastic opportunity for HomeAid to connect with like-minded individuals and organizations passionate about making a difference in the community.

We had the privilege of engaging in fruitful conversations, exploring innovative ideas, and forging new partnerships. The energy and enthusiasm at both events were truly inspiring, and we're excited about the possibilities that lie ahead.

Thank you to everyone who made IBS and PCBC events memorable and impactful occasions, and special thanks to our sponsors! Together, we are building hope and transforming lives.

Bank of America volunteers have been giving their time and talent to HomeAid’s service providers throughout the country for nearly 30 years. The volunteers have focused on three special activities -- assembling and distributing thousands of HomeAid CareKits for those experiencing homelessness, upgrading HomeAid’s developments through HomeAid's “Care Days” program, and implementing financial education programs with clients living in HomeAid built developments.

At the mid-year point, we're thrilled to thank HomeAid America board member Mike Forsum, COO of LandSea Homes and recognize the incredible impact of LandSea's transactional giving program in a few of our national markets. Since its launch in January, we are pleased to announce that the program has raised and contributed over $100,000 through their home closings supporting the following affiliates: Austin, Northern California, Orange County, Orlando and Phoenix. We are immensely grateful for the dedication and generosity of LandSea Homes in making a positive difference in our communities thorough these funds, national and local leadership as well as project development by being a builder captain. Together, we are creating a brighter future in the fight against homelessness.

Future Outlook

Building A Future Without Homelessness

Every day in the United States, nearly 600,000 people live on our streets, in vehicles, shelters, or other places not meant for human habitation. Homelessness is not just living in a shelter, a car or on the street; people experiencing homelessness, especially children and families, are often couch surfing, “doubling up” with friends or relatives, or living in motels, vehicles, hotels, or campgrounds. The dis-proportionality in homelessness is a by-product of systemic inequity: the ongoing effects of racism and other forms of discrimination that continue to perpetuate disparities in critical areas that impact rates of homelessness.

HomeAid seeks to expand the number of affiliates across the United States. In this process, HomeAid assists new affiliates by establishing the affiliate as a 501c3 organization. Once the affiliate is established, the national staff recruits a strong board of directors while establishing relationships with the local non-profit homeless service providers. The national organization assists in raising and matching local funding and hiring the Executive Director. HomeAid’s expansion model focuses on cultivating relationships and conducting market research, and launching an affiliate can take up to two years due to the cultivation and the legalization process that is necessary for its success. Establishing operations while creating a long-term, sustainable, and successful affiliate is always the goal.

Expanding into new communities and building strong relationships allows HomeAid to maximize the talents and resources of its partners to create more comprehensive solutions to end homelessness.

Through an investment of catalytic funding, HomeAid is seeking to establish and expand the number of affiliates across the United States through the development of a strategic three-year expansion plan that will potentially expand HomeAid’s affiliate network into six –nine new markets, including, but not limited to:

• Columbia, South Carolina

• Greenville, South Carolina

• Raleigh, North Carolina

• South Florida (Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Coral Springs, West Palm Beach)

• Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas

• Nashville, Tennessee

• San Antonio, Texas

• Puerto Rico

HomeAid’s model is both scalable and sustainable. Currently with 19 locations, we built a national network of building industry professionals who are changing their communities and ending homelessness. HomeAid will work with local champions to raise three years of seed capital funding and provide technical assistance to launch each affiliate. From hiring staff, to establishing accounting procedures, to implementing the model with fidelity, we set each affiliate up for success from the start.

This catalytic funding will also support all existing affiliate programs across the country by providing critical operational support for our national office. Through the national office, the national organization provides strategic direction and leadership for the organization, resource development and training for affiliate staff members, and relationship building across the building industry and philanthropic community.

HomeAid America’s Purpose

When HomeAid America was founded in 1995, its sole intent was to replicate the work of HomeAid Orange County (founded in 1989) across the country. The role of HomeAid America has continued to expand and broaden to improve its impact in implementing its mission. As new opportunities and challenges present themselves, HomeAid America finds new ways to support each Affiliate, and help them to grow and strengthen. The primary ways that we support the Affiliates are:

To establish and expand the number of HomeAid Affiliates across the United States. HomeAid America assists new Affiliates with board recruitment and training, establishing relationships with the local nonprofit homeless service providers, helping raise and match local funding, recruiting a strong board of directors, and hiring the first Executive Director.

To provide “program” and “nonprofit management” expertise through staff and volunteer resources to the Affiliates to help them accomplish their missions. HomeAid America works closely with each Affiliate to provide professional guidance and support. Most Affiliates depend heavily on guidance from HomeAid America in their first two years, but thereafter operate cooperatively in alliance with national staff and other Affiliates for support and assistance. Affiliates benefit from strong project development expertise, assistance navigating government affairs and entitlement assistance, and expertise regarding trends related to homelessness from a national perspective.
